About Martine Jardin the writer and artist...
Does
she live in a fairytale world? A world that only exists in books? On the contrary.
She's very realistic and walks this earth with two feet firmly planted on the ground. However, we all dream and therefore bury ourselves in books that speak of magical love, solutions to
broken relationships, fantasy, science fiction, the mysteries of history, futuristic worlds and adventure. We imagine ourselves as the
hero or heroine in these books. We get so absorbed in the story, that we almost live it.
Martine
was born a writer. According to her mother, she scribbled when just a toddler and hid all the pencils on her. As soon as
she learned the
alphabet, she wrote, drew pictures, painted with watercolors, and
has written ever since. She won some short story competitions at the age of twelve and drawing competitions. When
she was seventeen, she wrote short children's stories and illustrated them for a magazine.
She is published overseas.
During her career as a wife, mother and then single mother, Martine wrote many stories by hand. After
her children grew up, she started writing seriously again and put all these stories into book form, writing
her first complete novel by hand until her son convinced her to
tackle the computer. Yesterday’s Tears, Tomorrow’s Pearls, is one of these stories.
She
was gifted with many talents. Her hobbies are gardening, sewing, embroidery, knitting, painting, drawing, and many other crafts. But
writing is her main talent and whenever she can, she now concentrates fully on it.
During her younger years, she traveled extensively and has lived in several different countries.
For the past 30 years she has lived in beautiful B.C., Canada, where she
shares a home with her son.
